An Elk Grove man was charged Thursday with two counts related to child pornography on Thursday, after officials said he used hidden cameras to videotape children using the toilet and shower in his own home.

Michael Gibson, 40, is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges Wednesday.

According to a complaint filed on May 3, Gibson's home computer showed files of child pornography that were displayed through an online file-sharing network back in March.

Sacramento Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Elk Grove Police Department searched Gibson's home and found a hard drive that contained videos of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct in addition to hidden camera video of children using the toilet and shower in Gibson's bathroom, prosecutors said.

Gibson is scheduled to appear in court again on Wednesday.

The Elk Grove man could face a possible sentence of 15 to 30 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
